Next Right Thing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

They say hopeless romantics
Slow down like the Titanic
But my love is gigantic
And I don't wanna make it quit

Love is like a fine wine
It doesn't have a time line
I've been climbing up the grape vine
'til I found one that fits

I try to pick and choose
Sometimes I win
Sometimes I loose
But I can't go wrong
Doing the next right thing

I tangled with some titans
Done my share of fightin'
But I have been enlightened
Learned a few facts of life

I don't swear this small stuff
Don't use a driver in the ruff
I don't make my marks off of the cuff
And bring the bacon home to the wife

I try to pick and choose
Sometimes I win, sometimes I loose
But I can't go wrong
Doing the next right thing
Doing the next right thing

I may stumble
I may fall
But no more beatin'
My head against the wall

I'll go around it
I'll dig myself a hole
A big ol' tunnel
Through the middle of my soul

I try and try
To pick and choose
Sometimes I win
Sometimes I loose
I'll never go wrong
Doing the next right thing
